Reconnect Concussion™ Program

As a former ER Doctor and Family Doctor who has sustained multiple concussions, Dr. Vaidya understands the frustration, lack of clear information, obstacles to wellness, and isolation that can come with concussion. Based on personal experience and her own knowledge of neurobiology and stress, she developed this 9-week program to help fill the gap in concussion care.

​

The goals of this program are to:

Reconnect the Brain, using neuroplastic techniques based on concussion-safe restorative yoga.

Reconnect with ourselves, after having sustained a life and identity changing injury

Reconnect with community, by coming together with others who also live with persistent concussion symptoms.

We will also

discuss research on lifestyle and nutrition best practices for brain health.

understand our nervous system and how we can best improve our function, physically, emotionally, and within our relationships.
